As much as I like the guy, no idea why BLM would want to do the tour again. He only qualified originally on the OOM and that was down to a deep run on one of the days. Fair play for moving to the UK and giving it a go, but with a young family at home and not picking up much in prize money, hardly seems worth the sacrifice to do it all again.

Re: 2023 PDC Q-School
It's a dream for a lot of people. At that point you are reasonably close to playing on big stages and making a living from darts. I think some players will persist even if it's unlikely they will make it big time.

Re: 2023 PDC Q-School
DFR did you update them because you forgot or because they confirmed they’re attending?
Would surprise me if Mathers went again. But Mitchell can make a good living on the tour if he gets a bit of confidence back

Re: 2023 PDC Q-School
Mitchell was very poor at Ally Pally and that seems to follow in 2022. 2021 was actually a decent year if he did that again he would be close to the top 50. Not great mind

Re: 2023 PDC Q-School
The PDC give no fucks who wins through Q School as long as they have their elite players marketing their product with carrot dangled world series ventures around the world.
WDF is fucked. ADC is the future.

Re: 2023 PDC Q-School
If anyone on here suddenly became so good, constantly winning with averages plenty good enough to challenge for a tour card would you go to Q School?

They proposed 5 events
World Championship
National Finals
World Open
“Royal Rumble”
British International Championship
All 5 didn’t happen. They have gone from gliz of having a bit launch to just being a Qualfication comp for Modus Super Series. Fine I’m a fan of what they are doing but it’s a come down from what is proposed & they escape criticism when they had backing and haven’t put on TV/Stream event yet when WDF have had two in the period.

Re: 2023 PDC Q-School
Personally I don't really care for what ADC call their events, or what the format is etc. What's important is they provide competitive regular action for players who aren't on the tour, as well as a reasonable amount of prize money. They provide that, that's all that matters really
